Ingredients

Top a water cracker with store-bought cranberry chutney. (Other flavors work here, too.) Add a slice of brie cheese, another dollop of cranberry chutney, then top with a sugared cranberry.*

*To make sugared cranberries, warm maple syrup, then pour over fresh cranberries. Cover and let soak in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, drain the syrup off the cranberries and roll them around in sugar. Allow to dry for one hour on a plate or baking sheet.
